Best Of The Web: Soul Mates And Chunky Men

Mazel birls and goys… If you're a member of the tribe of Abraham (I guess), happy new year. Everyone else, welcome to football season and the best the web had to offer in the realm of love AND relationships (and a little sex too).

First up, Em & Lo (EmAndLo.com) have ten signs you're dating a keeper. 1) He wears gloves and a long-sleeve shirt. 2) He has great hands. 3) He's moves quickly. Hold… those are signs you're dating a goalkeeper. Sorry.

The crew at College Candy appreciates a good climax but they really want to know what happens during the denouement. Ugh, pillow talk, I think your best bet is to fall asleep before the other person starts talking about a personal philosophy or hopes/ dreams.

Speaking of climax, per Asylum a university in Turkey says fat dudes can go for longer in bed. I suppose they're going to tell us bushy mustaches make women have the most intense orgasms…

Now for something completely different, per Lemondrop a study shows that two-thirds of Americans believe in soul mates. In a related story, one-third of Americans still don't believe in the Easter Bunny.

On the topic of doin' it. My buddy Jack From Brooklyn questions why women who go all the way on the first date are called sluts and why the lion share of men don't mind so much but some pretend they do. Dynamite use of Venn Diagrams and a fun message.

When it comes to first dates, some are far worse than first date sexers… like the boyfriender. Love In The Dumps describes this dangerous dater's characteristics and how to let fast-moving Frida know she can pump the brakes.

The boyfriender has her eyes on one prize. Srinivasan Pillay at Huffington Post has word on the science of getting what you want. Everyone, you'll notice that withholding sex doesn't make the list. Neither does complain until you get you way.

And, finally, OKCupid has an awesome study of its users. They tookie a lookie at what people like in their personal descriptions and cross-referenced that with their ethnicity. It turns out that white people date like this and black people date like this. Anywhom, great great read.
